Hold-up to getting 1st rnd picks 17-19 done remains whether or not to guar 4 yrs. With Claybourn getting all 4 yrs at pick 20, all top 20...
Picks feel like that is the standard. Picks 21-32 received 3 of their 4 years guaranteed. Only $500K difference between $ on picks 16 and 20

Wonder if Houston feels he wants more guaranteed? Or maybe he is waiting till he can pass drug test, although pretty sure any smoker can have it all out of system after 30 days. His smoking right before draft shows that his decision making can be called into question. Was really hoping he could be key piece of our puzzle too.

Tebow just bitch slapped.

I wonder if Tebow prays to God Orton throw interceptions.

First-round DT Nick Fairley (foot) has been sent to Charlotte for a meeting with Dr. Robert Anderson.
Anderson is right up there with Dr. James Andrews among doctors that athletes would rather not see. While the Lions won't confirm that there's a stress fracture in Fairley's foot, they are obviously concerned. Corey Williams would step in next to Ndamukong Suh if Fairley misses time.

The Eagles made a contract offer to Randy Moss after the receiver filed his official retirement papers with the league, according to the Boston Herald.
The Eagles just won't stop. Moss' filing of his retirement papers isn't significant as he can unretire any time he wants. If he is truly intrigued by the Eagles' offer, there's a good chance it will still happen. And based on the way veterans are flocking to Philly to play with Mike Vick, we would no longer be surprised.

9 more days and we will be watching some CHIEFS FOOTBALL!!!!

Eagles O would be sick! Vick to Moss for A 70 yard touchdown damn!

must...not...draft....

(again)

DAMN Jackson must be pissed.

Four teams, including the Seahawks, are talking to Vikings LB Ben Leber, who is one of the better free agents available.

The Minneapolis Star-Tribune confirms released LT Bryant McKinnie weighed in "close to 400 pounds" upon arriving at camp.
That's the vibe we picked up late last week when a beat writer noticed McKinnie was considerably bigger than the 360 pounds he played at last season. McKinnie claims he asked for his release to play elsewhere, but also acknowledges he may have to sit out a year and return in 2012. We wouldn't be surprised if the unmotivated former seventh overall pick never suits up again.

Haw haw. Just read that the Raiders have to pay Darius Heyward-Bust 8.5 mil this year.

Uh, I just want the obvious holes in the roster addressed. That's all. Maybe Pioli has some genious crystal ball and knows a bunch of rookies/UDFA are going to plug right in and dominate, but it scares me going into the season with all these question marks at key positions.

Our last game, a playoff game, we got embarrased at arrowhead because of weaknesses at key positions that needed desperate improvements. Maybe we are fixed at some of these. We needed upgrades/improvements at

OL, DL, WR, RB2, LB, FB, TE, S, and of course QB

These were not a surprise to even the most casual of fans. Most of these holes had been there a few seasons. I was hoping if these were addressed especially along the OL, it would help improve one of our biggest question marks which is QB. Maybe he could excel with enough improvements around him. I am going into this year as his biggest cheerleader. We need him to improve. I hope he lights it up and proves his critics wrong. I really do.

I wonder though if enough was done in the little offseason we had. Unlike last year, with the brutal schedual against so many playoff teams, I think we will find out very quickly if enough was done.

Huh?? They used 2 draft choices on the DL and brought in a vet run stuffing NT. I hardly call that not upgrading the position. They added a 1st round WR and a great slot guy. Added Houston to fill the other OLB spot and Siler for depth inside. The other 3 starting postions are pretty solid with DJ, Hali and Belcher(love his play) IMO.

FB's, backup TE's, backup S's aren't worth getting your panties in a bunch over.

They spent a 2nd rounder on the center of the future, have Asamoah ready to step in and kick ass at G, but the tackle positions are a concern right now.

I'm excited about the direction of this team as they have a lot of guys just entering thier primes with a ton of even younger guys that are going to get alot of PT this year.
